Basal temperature

Krystle • TTC a rainbow

I just bought a basal thermometer and it says to take it while still in bed- before you get up. How often do you use it? Do you use it only during your ovulation days or do you take it everyday?

What other things do you do to prepare yourself? I been taking prenatal vitamins since I got off the depo shot in July, and track my periods, and just had my annual pap smear last month.
